    There's a similar article at least every Quarter, if that gives you a clue.

    I personally would not buy anything in Sydney or Melbourne , even if I had the means to. But APRA, my wife's salary reducing significantly and me getting a nice $8,000 pay cut, means that this is a purely academic exercise for me!

    Another slow news day, if you keep making predictions one day you are bound to get right once

    This isnt a prediction of a crash, simply an analysis of what happens in cycles. I think the analysis is fairly well reasoned.

    The analysis is wrong in so many levels to be honest.
    He asks people to hold off but until when? 1 year, 2 year or 10 years?

    The 1st reason is the most ******: "what goes up must goes down???". This doesn't mean that down will be as the same as up, price can go up by 100% then goes down by 5% and it is still true to his reason but would you want to be holding off for 1 2 3 years seeing price appreciates for 30% then goes down for 5%. In the end, you are still 25% worse off.

    I definitely find myself agreeing with this article and think it describes various points in the cycle well. Thing is, this cycle is really having a great run! Of course it has to stop some time but it really doesn't seem to want to - has a life of its own.
    My guess is that Melbourne will still be going into next year. Brisbane and Adelaide will be next in line but they really have to wait until Sydney and Melbourne are burnt out. With properties in Sydney still going at 800K above reserve, could be a long wait.
